  1.  @BornFree6664  I did refer to 'postal votes.'

  2. Clearly I need to have a DNA test as soon as possible. If I can find a bit of African ancestry, It could be a nice little earner for me.

  3. It is part of the embryo of a plant.

  4. Ever read 'The Marching Morons?' It was a science fiction short story, published in 1951, about a future world populated almost entirely by total idiots. Amazing how, less than 75 years later, it has become fact.

  5.  @nicholasadams3894  Johnson is seeking to protect the interests of the United Kingdom (whether some people agree with his policies or not is not the issue) and clearly understands that saying what he probably has long realised about President Biden is not the way to achieve do this. Quite probably, Scott Morrison ( 'that guy from Down Under') and other leaders are fully aware of the reality as well, but as long as Biden is, at least nominally, the man in charge, nothing would be gained by annoying those behind him who are pulling the strings by rocking the boat.

  6. Bai Gum, I remember when Gracie Fields campaigned for Arthur Henderson in the British General Election of 1931. I said to me mate Neville Chamberlain that nowt good would come aht of showbiz folk gettin involved in politics. I wuz reet. Owd Stanley Baldwin won in a landslide. Nowt changes, duz it?

  7. Perhaps Harris has a future in British politics? In view of the quality of the current British government, the Dear Leader might well see her as someone capable of bringing gravitas, dignity, sound political judgement, and credibility to his cabinet?

  8.  @randimcbeth2982  I agree absolutely. However, having seen the manner in which in the UK the BBC and many elements of the media spin events to project their own particular bias, I expect a concerted campaign to portray the events as a triumph orchestrated by a great President.

  9. I expect that Biden's 'advisors' are confident that, in three months' time, the American people and America's allies will have forgotten all about it.

  10. I suppose it can be assumed that, if Harris wins, US policies will not change much, as the same people who ran things behind the figurehead of a demented old man will continue to do so, but this time with a half-witted giggler to the fore.

  11. Reminds me of two differing opinion when, long ago, Dennis Lillee kicked Javid Miandad's backside during a Test Match. Some said he shouldn't have done it, Others said he didn't kick him hard enough. I must confess that I was in the latter camp!

  12. Please tell us that this isn't true. If it is, there is a clear & present danger that this freeloading prat will return to the UK. We have enough problems without allowing one more to be added.

  13. Well, at least President Biden (or, whoever is working him) has managed to drag we loyal and uncomplaining British into yet another Middle-East war. Considering he is openly contemptuous of us, what passes for our political leadership always seems to do exactly what he tells them.

  14. You are being gtossly unfair. The Clan Yousaf fought bravely at Culloden, for Bonnie Prince Ahmed.

  15. There was an equally awful travesty, 'The ABC Murders' about five years ago. Starring John Malkovich as the detective, brutally mistreated by the RAYCIST!!!' British. It is almost compulsory these days.

  16. What? No reference to David Lammy? Shame on Time!

  17. If this Karine person is worried about job security in view of impending events, perhaps she needs to know that Britain's Dear Leader, Sir Keir Starmer, is looking for a new Chief of Staff who doesn't worry much about integrity, nor honesty? She should get in touch, as she appears to tick most if not all of the required boxes. Furthermore, her suit resembles some of the free ones kindly given to the Dear Leader by his owner, Lord Alli.

  18. Oh please! The whole idea, that Harry Markle has a 'friend,' is utterly absurd.

  19. Does this perhaps explain why, within the Democrat Party in the US, Kamala Harris is regarded as a powerful intellect?

  20. Perhaps because hearing her words is the modern equivalent of visiting Bedlam to stare at the inmates. In those days, people used to take sticks to poke them into activity. With Meghan, no stick is required.

  21. May I respectfully suggest that how people actually vote on such issues is less important than how those employed to count the votes say that they voted?

  22. How does this affect Joe Biden? His defence team will simply contend that his incipient dementia render him unfit to plead. He can then return to being President of the United States.

  23. Wasn't Bosie Oscar Wilde's 'friend?' Give it a week and Joe will be claiming he wrote 'The Importance of Being Earnest.'

  24.  @sdub7045  They hold honorary positions in the military. There is something of a difference.

  25. The conclusion must be that someone in 'authority' has concluded that Rowling is rather to high profile, and too wealthy, to take the risk. Instead, the boys, girls, & others, in blue will simply set their sights on the little people, who are both much easier targets and not as well resourced to defend themselves.

  26. Indeed, and if Charles thinks that bowing down to Harry over the uniform issue will moderate the comments which will shortly be made by the malignant markles, he is even more hopeless than many Britons already believe him to be. Hasn't that strange Scobie creature already been boasting about how the Palace buckled to Harry's demands? A monarch, even a largely ceremonial one, is in need of a spine. It seems that Charles III is sadly lacking in this regard.

  27. Well, I'm convinced! After over 20 years opening the batting for my club side, I intend to identify as a 14 years old girl in order to play in our under 15s women's team next year. I bet none of the opponents I meet will try to knock my head off with short pitched bowling in 2024. Wearing a frock for the Trophy Presentation Night might be a bit awkward, however.

  28. As a cricket fan, apparently racist, sexist, and classist, I am told, I would like to interview Marnus Labuschagne & Steve Smith. Providing that it stops them playing in the next test, of course. Dammit ! Too late.

  29. I am not standing for this!! I have been repairing the floor of my garden shed, and two of the planks have taken great offence at being compared to Harry Markle. Legal action may well follow!

  30. Well done Mr. Obama. If you are going to patronise someone, do it 100%.

  31. Number One Issue? Hardly. The Prime Minister, and the (alleged) Home Secretary are not even vaguely interested in it. Apparently, Boris has asked for a 'Report' on the problem, which is what politicians generally do as an easy alternative to taking any action.

  32.  @mcfcguvnors  Or, come to that, among Sir Kiers' coterie of Islington thinkers.

  33. Shame on you! How dare you criticise the new messiah!

  34.  @birgittabirgersdatter8082  Many years ago, a writer called Cyril Kornbluth wrote a science fiction short story called 'The Marching Morons.' At least, it started out as a short story. Now it appears to have been more of a prophecy.

  35. I don't doubt that Kamala Harris thinks that Biden is smart. I imagine that, given her level of intelligence, she would consider my cat to be an intellectual giant.

  36. I wish the Australian government would ban cricket as a 'white, elitist' sport. We might finally get the bloody Ashes back. I'm going away now!

  37. My mother had hopes that I would take up ballet. At 6 feet 4 inches and 15 stones, I went for Rugby Union instead. I don't need to feel guilty anymore!

  38.  @catherina2611  Which, I assume, was that you sought to criticise me for posting a comment on a site you define as right wing, by yourself commenting on a site that you define as right wing?

  39.  @catherina2611  No. But clearly you thought that you were.

  40.  @catherina2611  Aren't you also writing on 'the most right-winged news channel in Australia?' Or am I mistaken?

  41. What happened to previous occupants of the land the Zulus invaded? Perhaps you wouldn't want to know?

  42. Unfortunately, Charles' knee jeck reaction to anything is to say sorry for the role of Britain in it. Any day now, I expect him to apologise for the callous way the British exterminated the dinosaurs. He is an odd person, who openly despises the British peasantry who fund his modern and unassuming lifestyle. I may be biased, however, as one of my Forebears, Major General Lambert, served with Cromwell during the Civil War, and suffered life imprisonment following the restoration of Charles II. My sympathies have always been with John Lambert, not Charles Stuart.

  43.  @mountainoflight1.392  Mindlessly repeating the same comment does nothing for your spurious argument.

  44.  @mountainoflight1.392  You would first need to find a number of academic historians willing to create such a course, and I doubt that you could. Unlike the Florida course, which involved a number of such people.

  45.  @mountainoflight1.392  Perhaps you are too blinded to understand that the two events were utterly different? Indeed, perhaps you didn't even watch the video at all?

  50. Wasn't the leader of the Free World holding the card the wrong way round? Perhaps the other side simply read 'TURN CARD ROUND, MR. PRESIDENT.'
